Timothy Chandler | Defender | Birthplace: Frankfurt, Germany

Age: 24 | First World Cup appearance | Club team: Nürnberg (Germany)

Another one of the German-Americans making his World Cup debut, Chandler took his time in committing to the U.S. team for his international career. After being “cap-tied” to the Americans following a game in February 2013, Chandler did not appear for the squad again until Klinsmann named the 30-man roster earlier this month.
